Last month, as an entire year wound to a close, Tierra Whack ramped up her creativity. The impossible-to-box-in Philadelphia artist released a trio of EPS — Rap?, Pop?, and R&B?, all as curious as their interrogative titles suggest. Nine songs total, spanning country and soul-pop and even ’70s riff rock, can’t contain Whack’s boundless energy. “Body of Water,” one of the Pop? cuts, surges with mid-aughts electroclash nostalgia and one hell of a music video. But this is Tierra Whack; once the song ends, she’s on to something else entirely. —Patrick Hosken
